According to U.K.’s The Mirror, the singer is being courted to play the late music legend in a Netflix biopic. Bruno had some practice when he performed a Prince tribute at last year’s Grammy awards.

“Bruno says it will probably be the most nerve-racking move of his career if it happens,” The Mirror quotes a Netflix source as saying. “Prince was one of his idols so to be asked to take on a hefty role like that especially as a debut acting move is full-on.”

The source reportedly adds, “The offer has come out of the blue. Bruno used to love acting when he was younger but it’s not an avenue he’s explored.”
